Well Greetings Worlds !!
It's a bright Sunday afternoon, here in England..... B & J are outside, working on the front garden & hedge. Mainly the latter, as it was well due a trim !! It's not the biggest hedge in the World - but, J is able to sit on the top & trim it that way !! Whatever it takes I guess !!
Anyways - that's where 2 of the family are..... the 3rd one, ME..... well, she worked last night & as far as I know, she is now at M's place, spending the day with him. After working 5 nights (I think) on the trot, I'm guessing she is enjoying a bit of "down time" !!
It's very strange, as long time readers will know......... I've just spent 3 months in hospital & now, I have to "re-set" my whole body clock, away from the institutionalized way things were done there - to doing things here !! That might sound kind of dumb..... but, my whole day in the hospital, was mapped out. Here - well, I can please myself what I do - more or less & that's kind of hard to adjust to !! Nevermind - I've only been home a few days, I'll get used to it all !!
One thing that I am getting very used to.... and that's playing music thru' the system again & not thru' The Mini Egg (my iPod thingy) which I used in the hospital !! Don't get me wrong - my Sennheiser headphones are really really good..... but, to be able to listen to stuff, thru' the Bose speakers... well, it's hard to explain really !!
At the moment, I'm playing one of the 50 or so Cd's that were waiting for me, when I got home..... this one being a recording of Zeppelin's concert at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale New York. It's from February 13th 1975 & seems to be a complete soundboard recording..... which, I don't think, I've had before !!
I'm only on the 2nd disc of 4 - but, so far so very good......... tho' - I don't understand why there are 4 discs in the collection ?! I'll keep playing them thru' & see what discs 3 & 4 contain !! I like a good mystery.....
Something else I like... and that's collecting things. It might sound totally dumb, but over the years I've collected model aircraft, model trains & battle ships..... all of which are stored (kind of) safely in the loft. Now - this is probably the dumb part - but, I've never opened them..... by that, I mean, they are all still as they reached me, in their little boxes, unopened. My plan being, that one day I might - just might - have some Grandchildren & - if I do - they can have the models !!
Even if I never have Grand-kids..... there are still a nice bundle of models and someone might like them, at some point !! Time will tell on that one..... but, whatever happens - I've started another collection !! This time, for my sins - I've started buying "The Official Star Trek Starship Die-Cast Collection". In other words - every 2 weeks, I'm going to have a model space ship, based on the various 'Star Trek' TV series & films.
That really does sound pretty crap, but - I do have a soft spot for 'Star Trek' - so, collecting the various models should be a bit of fun !! The first model, for those of you who might be "nerd-ish" enough to know these things, is of "U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D"...... I've no idea what series, or film, it's from - but... it looks pretty good, even tho' I've not taken it out of it's box or anything !!
It'll be a little bit of fun, just collecting the things & storing them in a box, or something, for another day...... besides, if they turn out to be really crap - I can stop buying the things !! Time will tell on that one, I guess !!
Ok - moving along....... My plans, for the rest of the day.
Well, being a Sunday - and I've only just thought of this really - I didn't think about going to Church today !! In a way, that's really "bad" of me...... but, I'm still getting used to being home, that I didn't even think about Church !! In a way, that's a bit of a lie. Yesterday, B did mention about going - if I wanted to go - but, that was yesterday...... I'm not 100% sure if B asked me again today.......
Anyhoo - I didn't want to go today, especially to "our" Church..... I wouldn't feel very welcome there !! Well, that's how I would feel about going there. I e-mailed The Bishop, before I went into hospital & a couple of times since.... but, I never heard back from him, which has kind of "upset" me. I thought the least he could of done, was acknowledge my words..... oh well....
I've got it, in my head, to go to another Chapel.... up at Weston-Super-Mare. I don't really know why, but we were talking & the thought of having some fun, beside the seaside & maybe going to a service there, just seems to have lodged in my head !! Nevermind - maybe one day.... I'll see what happens !!
Back to my plans, for the rest of the day....... I've got a shed load of stuff to tidy up & go thru' !! Loads of magazines & Cd's... plus unsorted junk, going back over the last 3 months !! It's crazy just how much crap has built up in my absence !! It's be interesting to see what is actually worth keeping & what just needs throwing away !! That's my next job !!
Tomorrow - I'll give you a track listing for this 4 Cd set I've been listening to...... it's been fun, a good recording is always good to
hear !! For now tho' - I must away !!
As always, I thank you all for logging in & reading my words - it means a lot to me, that you take the time, just to read the junk I write about !! It's good to know you're "out there"... until next time..
Bye Bye
